Granna - Global food dining

DSC_2273.jpg
There are many restaurants in Shinjuku. I would like to introduce Granna, which is a global food dining place near Shinjuku Station. I went to this restaurant with my mother. This restaurant opened about eighty years ago and serves guests foods from around the world.

DSC_2275.jpgAt lunch time, there is a three coures menu that includes hors d’oeuvre, soup, a main dish, dessert, and coffee. Also at dinner time, there is a three course menu. You can choose fish or beef for your main dish. When I went to this restaurant, I had the lunch course. It was very delicious. It cost 3000 yen to 4800 yen. At dinner time, the coure is 4800 yen to 7000 yen. The a la carte menu offers salad, dry curry, mixed nuts, garlic toast, and so on. I think the lunch course is expensive, but the dinner course is mid-range. On the a la carte menu, items start from 700 yen, so it is not expensive and there are many tasty food.

This restaurant has very high ceiling and a beautiful green garden, so the open space makes a very good atmosphere. Besides, the atmosphere is not noisy, so you can spend a relaxing time. There are many tables, but you need to wait in a line if the restaurant is busy. When I went to this restaurant, I waited about 20 minutes, so I recommend making a reservation before you go to this restaurant. You can reserve space for a class reunion party or wedding party. The staff was kind and friendly. This restaurant is near Shinjuku Station, so if you have free time, please go to this restaurant. As you can see, there are many beautifully arranged foods.

Book Review - Love Your Sister


Love Your Sister  : How far would you go for someone you love ... on a unicycle? - Samuel JohnsonThis book, Love Your Sister came out in 2014. The writers of this book are Connie Johnson and Samuel Johnson. This book is so famous in Australia because it’s based on a true story about people who live in Australia.

The main characters in Love Your Sister are the sister and brother Connie and Samuel. They have always been close. When they were children, they always played together, and did everything together. However, Connie contracted cancer, and she had to fight fought cancer three times. In her life, Samuel was with her every step of way. She faced a great difficulty that time. She was dying, and she did not have much time left. Then she gave Samuel the toughest challenge. The challenge Connie gave him to make a one wheeled odyssey around Australia. This dare also had another aim, and it could be worked. Samuel travelled more than 15,000 kilometers across the country.

This book has a special meaning for me because it’s the first book that I bought in Australia. There are a lot of difficult words, but I was really interested in this book so I could read the end of this book. As I read this book, I thought Connie always thinks positively about everything.
